    The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA have issued a final rule that updates the Federal Acquisition Regulation. This update supports the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018 and requires domestic airlines that work with the federal government to submit an annual report on actions taken to prevent human trafficking. There is also a correction to the rule's effective date, now set for January 3, 2025.

    The Federal Acquisition Circular (FAC) 2025-02 summarizes new regulations agreed upon by the Civilian Agency Acquisition Council and the Defense Acquisition Regulations Council. The Department of Defense (DoD), General Services Administration (GSA), and NASA are involved in implementing these rules, which include requirements for airlines contracting with the Federal Government to report on human trafficking prevention efforts and updates to the certification process for service-disabled veteran-owned small businesses seeking certain government contracts. These updates primarily aim to improve regulatory compliance and reinforce ethical standards without significantly impacting small businesses. Most changes go into effect on December 16, 2024, with some rules effective January 3, 2025.

    Simple Explanation

    The government has made new rules for companies that sell things or services to them, like asking airlines to share what they do to stop bad things like human trafficking, and helping some veterans' small businesses get government jobs more easily. These changes make sure everyone plays fair without making it too hard for small businesses.

    The Department of Defense, General Services Administration, and NASA have issued a final rule that updates the Federal Acquisition Regulation to comply with a section of the Frederick Douglass Trafficking Victims Prevention and Protection Reauthorization Act of 2018. This rule mandates that domestic air carriers contracting with the federal government to provide passenger air transportation must submit annual reports with details on training employees to recognize human trafficking, notifications received about potential human trafficking instances, and any actions taken in response. The new requirement applies to commercial services contracts but excludes contracts for commercial products and those awarded by the Department of Defense. The regulation aims to support the fight against human trafficking by ensuring air carriers are vigilant and report suspicious activities.

    Simple Explanation

    The government made a new rule that says airlines flying people for the government have to check and report on people being forced to do bad things, like working against their will, and they have to tell on it every year. This is to help stop bad stuff from happening around airplanes.
